Romanek began to have 'experiences' in late 2000 when he drove from Denver out
to Red Rocks, a stunningly beautiful place, to take some video in an attempt to
lure his then girl friend, Lisa, to drive to Denver from Nebraska. It worked; they
were later married. But that's where he saw his first UFO. He later saw one
above his retail store, where he was an assistant manager, and then hovering
over his van. In all cases, the UFOs were witnessed by other people who all took
pictures or video, though none have surfaced.

Shortly after, aliens began
visiting him. He says he has been abducted at least seven times. His
web site is here. He has just published
a book on his experiences called
Messages;
the world's most documented extraterrestrial contact story (ISBN: 978-0738715261.)
As the title suggests, the aliens have been giving him messages, including
several mathematical equations that purport to be as profound as Einstein's
E=MC(2) and point us Earthlings to new forms of energy, inter-dimensional
travel, and other wonders. Romanek is self-described as highly dyslexic with a
fourth grade understanding of mathematics (These are his words, not ours.) so
the question becomes, how could he possibly have made this up? The
equations are here with
some commentary.

His status as an abductee was splashed all over the web when
Jeff Peckman, who had become involved in the UFO
field after hearing Romanek speak, revealed that Romanek had made a video of an
alien peering through the window. Peckman was attempting to publicize an
Initiative establishing an
Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver and 'just happened to mention'
the existence of the video and arranged a small press conference. The media ran
with the story. Romanek and Peckman appeared on
Larry King Live and
Peckman went on to David
Letterman (without Romanek) now being touted as a "UFO Expert." The Larry
King show depicted a fake video during the show. Many more have appeared on the
Internet since then. This
is the actual video, which is actually worse in quality than the
acknowledged fakes.

It appears that Peckman has used Romanek to his own advantage in furthering
his cause and it also appears that Romanek has been 'handled' by a mysterious
group of people who want to make a documentary and have signed people to
Non-Disclosure agreements to prevent anything from leaking out until the
investigation is complete and everything is 'done right.' David Biedny reports a
series of strange phone conversations with one Clay Roberts, a documentary film
maker, about all this. Details are in The Paracast show cited below. Romanek
doesn't seem to know exactly who is helping him, but they managed to lock up the
story (including the video) for some time. This may have ended with the recent
publication of his book.

Romanek also reports many strange happenings to him,
including getting beaten up by four clean-cut men in suits and a black, unmarked
SUV while riding his bicycle. They told him "You better learn to keep your mouth
shut" while calling him "Alien Boy." His aliens are suited in blue and appear
scraggly with thin white hair who scooped skin off of him and poked holes in his
back. There are other disturbing inconsistencies to his entire episode. Listen
to this
episode of The Paracast for a complete accounting.
